Corporate Social Responsibility Statement

As a growing company, Generic Health is future focused and working towards taking actions to ensure a long term sustainable future for not only our company but also the local and broader global community. We are committed to making a positive impact on the health and general wellbeing of all Australians by ensuring each and every person has access to quality pharmaceuticals at affordable prices. Generic Health encourages and fosters honesty, integrity, collaboration, entrepreneurial spirit and equality, and these values are integrated into our business operations and workplace. We are also pursuing initiatives to contribute to local and global efforts to protect the environment as well as maintain a safe and environmentally friendly workplace.

Environment

At Generic Health we continually aim to reduce waste, be effective and efficient in everything we do and decrease our impact on the environment.

Our streamlined operations mean that resources are conserved wherever possible.

We work closely with our offshore partners to ensure they uphold similar environmental values to us and ensure they conduct operations in a safe and environmentally responsible manner. We also support our overseas suppliers and manufacturers to improve environmental and sustainability practices.

Generic Health is focused on the core environmental principles of reduce, reuse and recycle. All opportunities to recycle are implemented to minimise landfill impact, together with conservation of water. For example, every endeavour is made to recycle office waste, paper, ink toners and mobile phones. Employees are equipped with energy efficient computers and it is our policy that all unused office lights remain switched off.

Social and Community

It is Generic Health’s policy to provide support to selected organisations in the communities in which we operate, through appropriate donation and sponsorship programs. We have a commitment to assisting worthy causes which work to reduce poverty and/or improve the quality of life or opportunities for disadvantaged groups through promotion of community based projects relating to self help, empowerment, capacity building and skills development.

We support employees who volunteer in the community with donations and also contribute in other ways by encouraging or allowing our workforce to volunteer or raise money for an organisation while on company time and payroll.

Generic Health is also committed to supporting education and training of healthcare professionals and community awareness of related health issues.

Employees

Generic Health is committed to providing an ethical and fair workplace where all employees and potential employees enjoy an environment of opportunity, diversity and inclusion.

Generic Health provides equal employment opportunity to all potential and existing employees in relation to their recruitment, promotion, transfer, remuneration and conditions of employment, training, working environment, termination and redundancy throughout the course of their employment with Generic Health.

By promoting a non-discriminatory policy, and thereby recognising and encouraging employees on the basis of their individual abilities, aptitudes, qualifications, and skills, Generic Health engenders a positive and motivated workforce where employees at all levels are of the highest calibre and potential.

Employees are critical to our business and Generic Health supports opportunities for employees to achieve a balance in their work and home lives which also impacts positively on company productivity, output and customer service.

Generic Health accepts that the health, safety and welfare of its employees, contractors, suppliers and clients is of the utmost importance and will manage its workplace in such a manner to ensure as far as is reasonably practicable, that the highest standards of health and safety are maintained in accordance with the Occupational Health and Safety Act 2004 (Vic), associated Regulations, Compliance Codes and Australian Standards. Generic Health promotes risk management to identify, assess, control and review risk factors in the workplace and systems. We adopt a preventative approach to minimising the potential for injury, damage and loss whilst ensuring that all incidents are investigated and injured employees are returned to suitable work at the earliest opportunity. We encourage effective communication and consultation with all employees on matters relating to workplace health and safety.
